Fist of the North Star pumped on DVD and BD.

By David McCutcheon

An anime legend is coming to DVD and Blu-ray.

Sentai Filmworks and Section23 Films are planning to release Legends of the Dark King's Complete Collection on both formats come July 20, 2010. The subseries is derived from the legendary anime giant Fist of the North Star, which follows Raoh, a giant hulking fighter with the ability to vanquish his enemies in the bloodiest way possible. Raoh roams the desert of a nuclear holocaust, claiming territories for his own after slaying their leaders. Sounds pretty epic.

The Blu-ray release marks the first time the Fist of the North Star saga has ever been depicted in high-definition in North America. We're hoping for more catalogue releases from the ultra-violent series. Expect MSRPs of $49.98 for the DVD package and $69.98 for the Blu-ray. No bonus features have currently been announced.
